Selecting Hidden PowerPoint Objects

What you see is what you get? Not always. Sometimes, on a PowerPoint slide, objects can get hidden behind other objects as they stack on top of each other. So how do you get to the hidden object, or select the smaller object, without moving the other? Follow these steps:

Click the mouse outside the slide area or press the Esc key on the keyboard. Make sure nothing on the slide is currently selected.

Using the Tab key, cycle through the graphic objects until the one you want to edit is selected.
